If those graphics stick to the final, it better be a DS game.
If not, then let it be a multiplatform/GCN/whatever, so that it can be ported to the PC.
Then I may... "Acquire"... it.   |

Uh, trashy, those graphics won't be in the final version.
I'm interested in seeing how this will come out. |

Well, if they didn't have an idea as to what direction the game would take now they sure as HELL wouldn't have something new ready for E3.
I love how just one little " " trailer gets everyone talking.  |

I think if Sega wants to make this game good, they need to stop using things like Renderware and the Sonic Adventure engine. While I enjoyed the SA engine, it has a horrible system for shooting. It's kinda sad to think about, but Sonic the Hedgehog is just the type of game that moves too fast for modern audiences.
It was OK in the past to have a Sonic game where you could hit speeds that actually caused you to run out of the way of the camera, but as we get into behind-the-back 3D games, speed is just not going to work, because in 3D games it's not just like "Oh, I can see that coming so I need to jump over it", you actually need time to pay attention to what you're doing. If you're moving so fast that the camera can't keep up with you, then you can't do anything about those obstacles.
Not only that, but the track-based gameplay that SA had was really just "Hold forward and watch the pretty", for the most part. It's fun, yeah, because there are clever little parts in it that sneak up on you where you have to use the controller, but if you're going to incorporate shooting into it, you need something more sophisticated.
Maybe Sega should ask Capcom what they did with the old Legends engine... |

I have a feeling they don't really know what they are doing so for now they are just showing us the concept of the shadow game with the heroes engine. I really hope so. They could make this game pretty damn cool. Sega wants to excite us by showing this. I'm pretty sure it won't look like this. Well I'll know for sure when I play it at e3. |

I consider my point irreversably proven.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going back to my little world where SA2 was never made.

The flashy text is just because it's a trailer... I mean you could make something like Ico look lame by going...
"A BOY WITH HORNS....
RESCUES A GIRL OF LIGHT
FROM A WORLD OF SHADOW
WITHOUT GETTING HORNY...
e.t.c."
I'm worried about how the gunplay will mess up the flow of the game, Sonic's all about going really fast, if I wanted to shoot people I'd go and play "Ratchet and Clank".. *shrugs*
I'm just waiting for them to re-relese Sonic CD myself *sighs* |

Yeah, but why all the flashy text then? I mean, Sonic does his little grinning and poses and whatnot, but that doesn't get in the way of gameplay. Wherever Shadow is involved with anything it's like EVERYBODY SHUT UP: SHADOW IS BEING DARK NOW. I mean, not that I'd want to watch the cutscenes anyway. What was my point again? Oh yeah, for NOT having any character depth Shadow's seems to be stressed an awful lot. |

It's Sonic. No one expects plot from Sonic. All you expect from Sonic is speed beyond what you get in other platforms. "Shadow is dark sonic whoamg" is as much depth as you're gonna get. |

I don't know, I don't like Shadow's character.
CREATED as THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM
BUT HAUNTED by HIS PAST
ENTER THE "SHADOWY" WORLD
of AN UNEXPECTED HERO
or IS HE?
HERO or VILLIAN?
YOU DECIDE I mean jesus god guys, maybe give him some depth or something?
That's not counting the HOT PUMPING TECHNO MUZAK in the background.
=(
Oh, and NOTE: I realize character depth is not the point of action games, but if they insist on focusing so much on Shadow's OOH DARK aspect I'm going to talk about it. |

I dunno if the game's going to be horrible or anything, although Sega is due to put out a really good Sonic game soon.  It's going to be strange though, there's no doubt. |

Yeah, I saw this earlier. A lot of my friends think this is going to be terrible but... damn, man. It looks SEXY. I would buy that shit. Shadow was always a cool cool cat in my book, especially at the end of SA2 (great game, btw). I just can't help thinking this game is going to friggin ROCK. |

Grey: It's Sonic the Fighters or Sonic Championship (I think), depending where you're at. It's an arcade game, System 32.
As for Shadow... Could be cool. Could be horrible. The game looks incredibly like it's still using the Heroes engine, though... Not sure if that's good or bad. Naturally, I'm getting it either way, because I have little to no will to resist it... After all, it's a Sonic game. |

meh. I'd prefer it if they released Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 + Knuckles for the GBA... or if someone somehow made a megadrive/genesis emulator for GBA. |

I can buy the gun thing since it's Shadow and we still don't exactly know the storyline of the game.
Of course, if Sonic and friends were all packing heat... then I'd be a little worried as to the sanity of Sega's development team. |

I'll be happy so long as he doesn't shoot like E-102Gamma.
I am surprisingly interested in the Sonic The Hedgehog plotline, as well.
And did anyone catch that fighting game in the trailer? I wanna know what it's called... |

Shadow was a bad ass in SA2: Battle!
So, I think he totally earns this game. Plus, remember the final track to that game? That kicked ass! |
